@andrewxroas Aggreed. All of our top ads performing ads are AI UGCs.

I rarely see anyone use AI UGC But at the same time we're spending $7k/day purely on AI ads and scaling harder than ever I tried pinpointing the difference and it's that most other founders are too lazy to dive into AI UGC They just use the default AI avatars everyone else uses They don't create custom voices We do custom everything and every AI avatar is generated with our target audience in mind We're not getting any "He's AI" comments below our ads If you do it correctly it's 1:1 to normal UGC and people can't tell the difference

@andrewxroas What’s your Day 0 Roas on Meta?

As always, AMA

@andrewxroas Is it only today? One of our accounts seeing really high cost per app purchase for the past 7 days!

meta performance is so bad today

@voidmode Looks like they paid someone else £100 to create your ads.

If an agency can make 2 million ARR producing "work" like these ads, then you can do it too!

The 25-Year Distribution Shift 👇 Every decade, distribution resets. And every reset creates a new generation of winners. 💻 2000–2010 → Web (Search) Google ruled the world. Whoever ranked first won the internet. It was the golden age of blogs, backlinks, and SEO. 📱 2010–2016 → Mobile (Apps) The iPhone killed the desktop. Distribution moved to the App Store. “Get people to install your app” became the new funnel. 👥 2016–2024 → Social (Feeds) Attention moved from search bars to infinite scrolls. You didn’t need the best product, just the best story. Creators became the new media companies. 🤖 2024 → AI (Intention) Now, people don’t search, scroll, or tap. They ask. And the AI decides what shows up. Soon, you won’t use “apps” or “feeds” You’ll just talk to your AI, and it’ll do everything for you. The next SEO is GEO (Generative Engine Optimisation). And the next ad platform won’t be Google or Meta It’ll live inside AI agents. Brands that don’t adapt won’t just lose reach. They’ll disappear from the conversation. The question isn’t “How do I rank?” anymore It’s “How do I show up inside AI?”

@kodjima33 Are you running ads?

We crossed $300k in UGC payouts and I can officially say: UGC is a waste of money UGC will bring you lots of organic views but most likely it won't convert - good for virality, bad for sales Sometimes it works for Apps - but will never work for consumer hardware Apps naturally will get much more virality on tiktok and instagram because the audience can quickly find the app and create more content with it in hardware, you need to ship the product to creators and customers so the cycle increases to months and kills virality Along with that, 30%+ of your UGC creators will try to abuse the system by creating irrelevant content that doesn't convert If you don't cut it on time, that content will generate even more low quality content which is bad for the brand @omidotme strategy is to bring value and to make content that brings sales, unfortunately UGC doesn't bring neither as a result, we have moved that spend to increase our affiliate bonuses by 3X (30% from each sale) which has always been our top-1 channel Don't repeat my mistakes

@lizengco Yes, this is the future :) Reddit have a huge weight on AI answers, being active there with your brand might help!

@heyalper Nice. Is this replacing SEOs? Any suggestion for my field?

Pitch your startup in 3 words.

@ErnestoSOFTWARE Which stage do you launch ads Ernesto?

Heres how to scale to $1,000/MRR with you B2C APP in the first 7 days after launch: Monday - Send 100 dms + organic Tuesday - Send 100 dms + organic Wednesday - Send 100 dms + organic Thursday - Send 100 dms + organic Friday - Send 100 dms + organic Saturday - Send 100 dms + organic Sunday - Send 100 dms + organic Never do nothing Market everyday, Get results Whether good or bad see what works then double down. Start with influencers and faceless accounts Influencers + organic + ads + faceless Are my playbook to scale.

@SherryYanJiang We built a killer internal GEO tool and decided to launch publicly next week! You can track your ai rankings and improve visibility! Optiqo.ai

convince me ai seo is worth putting $$ into for distribution. who’s the wizard i should talk to?

@SumaiyaSsa These are great, but the 2nd one is my favourite!

You’re allowed to pic only one🤓

@BrenKinfa I am working on optiqo.ai to track, analyse, and improve brand visibility on ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity.

While every SEO team was busy fighting AI summaries and declining clicks, Astronomer cracked the growth code.

We recently launched our product on Product Hunt and became Product of the Day. We also won SaaS Product of the Week, 13x’d our user base, and turned warm leads into closed clients, including startups and scale-ups we’d been in talks with for weeks. But what really made the difference was how we treated the launch. Here’s the 6-week breakdown we followed, why it worked, and why I’d 100% do it again, even if the PH traffic fades in a week. 1. Team = Distribution We turned our entire team into a growth engine. Everyone posted, shared, and engaged, not just marketing. 2. Warm Up the Community We didn’t start from scratch. We activated early users, friends, and communities weeks before launch. 3. Relevance-First Outreach No mass blasts. We messaged people with context to build real connections weeks before our launch. 4. Visuals That Convert We built launch-ready assets: a clear landing page, a fast demo video, shareable banners all tailored for PH. 5. Personal Supporter Squad We reached out to advisors, early fans, and beta users with simple, personal notes. No spammy asks, just honest context. 6. Real-World Scrappiness We showed up to events (SaaStr, SaaStock, NTC Tech Week, Startup Grind, AI DevSummit, Stripe Sessions, etc.) with QR-code swag, LEGO raffles, and handwritten notebooks. People remembered. 7. Pre-Launch Party We hosted a hybrid event in SF with panels and early access. It gave our community something to be part of not just watch. 8. Launch Day = Relay, Not Sprint We covered the full 24 hours in shifts. Replied to every comment, stayed visible, kept the energy up across channels. Results → Product of the Day on Product Hunt → SaaS Product of the Week → Fintech Product of the Month → 13x user growth in 24 hours → Hundreds of new conversations with founders, operators, and investors → Multiple deals closed with startup and scale-up clients. What We Learned → Product Hunt builds credibility. It became a trust signal that helped us convert warm leads faster. → If your audience is startups, builders, or hackers, you should launch on PH. It's direct access to your ICP. → Momentum is short-lived. The spike dies after 7 days, but warm leads and conversations linger. → It’s a powerful internal alignment tool. Our whole team was rallied, which created organic visibility and energy across platforms. → It helped us close deals. The buzz reactivated old convos and accelerated trust with new ones.

@0xWuki Let me know how it goes!

@heyalper Dope tips, fam. Gonna test that Reddit hack asap.

How the top startups got their first 1,000 B2B users and what you can steal from them 🧵 Some hacked Reddit. Some crushed Google Ads. Some just email 100 people a day. Here’s how they did it (paid + non-paid):👇 Takeaway? There’s no one-size-fits-all, but there is a pattern: ✅ Build something genuinely helpful ✅ Get ultra-specific with your ICP ✅ Choose the right channel (based on ACV + behaviour) ✅ Test fast, iterate faster ✅ Don’t skip distribution; that’s 80% of early growth.

@srirammk0 Cheers!

@Domiplays415 Thank you

The approach of this post stands out because it promotes working smarter instead of harder by allowing AI to select proven content and create the first script and serve as on-camera talent. The human team can focus on high-value work that includes message refinement and brand fit

@LDEplatform Thank you

@heyalper Nailed it. Paid ads aren’t just about fast growth—they’re about rapid learning. Every click teaches you something about positioning, targeting, and funnel friction. Smart brands use that data to optimize everything.

Paid ads are still one of the fastest ways to grow from $100k → $1M and $1M → $10M. Here’s why they work so well: ✅ Speed: You can test ideas, offers, and funnels in hours, not weeks. ✅ Control: You choose the message, audience, budget, and timing. ✅ Scalability: When something works, you can instantly dial it up. ✅ Predictability: A well-built paid engine gives you compounding ROI. ✅ Data: Every dollar spent teaches you more about your ICP and funnel. That’s why at Yodamy, we’re now going all-in on performance marketing: Full-stack execution for Meta, Google, LinkedIn and Reddit ads. Including: Ads + Creatives + Funnels + Analytics. If you're serious about launching and scaling with paid, my DMs are open 👋
